Computational fluid dynamics simulation of subcooled flow boiling in vertical rectangular 2-mm narrow channel

This work proposes and discusses a new wall boiling model for a 2-mm narrow rectangular channel with a copper heating surface at atmospheric pressure. The model includes a wall heat flux partitioning model and several sub-models that compute active nucleation site density, bubble departure diameter,...
